hlivnat Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Until a few minutes ago, I thought that she was based on a Television character. You know, like the Mad Men silkstones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStoll93 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Personally, she always reminded of Madeline Kahn's character Mrs. White from the 1985 movie "Clue". Love the doll, I managed to find one a few years ago with the original shipper carton box. Edited December 21, 2022 by JStoll93 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARDECK Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I like the nickname Muffy. It's cute. A lot of names are from an older time than now and I like them...I'm from an older time than now lol. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were used to a more modest look on her. For me, she looked angry. There’s a few dolls in the BFMC like that. If looks could kill! 😆 But like I said, I learned to love her attitude. Perhaps Robert Best saw a photo of that socialite and was inspired by her. That facial expression is very much in keeping with Barbie's original face. I have a friend who calls my #1 "Cranky Barbie". 🙂 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that besides some TV characters, there are actually a few people named Muffy, including one who was an heiress and a socialite. It shows that money can’t get one a decent name, lol. Muffy is big in Ireland... I know three Muffys from back home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there was actually an older doll whose name was Fluff!! 🤣 Come here Fluff, sit, roll over, etc.... Maybe Muffy is Fluff's mother. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEERYLOU Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 But then again, Skipper and Scooter are unusual names for children too. I always figured one likes to skip and the other one prefers to ride on a scooter. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIMBARBIE Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I love this doll. I had a hard time finding her since she was a dealer exclusive, but it was worth it. The look on her face says it all and attitude is everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLV98 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I loved her from the start. Still love her. Still have her. All Barbie's should have an attitude. Gorgeous fashion too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
